Luis da Silva, 44, allegedly planned to livestream the attack and detonate explosives near the stage during Lady Gaga's free show on Copacabana Beach in Rio de Janeiro, which drew a crowd of 2.5 million on Saturday night, Felipe Curi, a spokesperson for the Rio de Janeiro Civil Police Department told the New York Post.
"He said that the singer was a Satanist and that he was going to perform a Satanist ritual too, killing a child during the show," Curi told reporters.

Why Are Cats Obsessed With Concrete Slabs?
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Cat owners have been descending on hardware stores on an unusual mission—picking up a concrete slab, typically for patios and garden paths, for their feline friend to lounge on. Costing as little as $2, simple blocks of concrete are bringing unexpected joy to cats everywhere as owners share adorable reactions on social media. Why Are People Buying Concrete for Cats? For many pet owners, the trend is about enrichment, comfort, and fun. Indoor cats, in particular, seem to benefit from the novelty of the cool, textured surface. "I just decided to hop on the trend because I usually avoid trends, but this one seemed like a fun little idea," Zach Hotaling from Atlanta told Newsweek. He recently shared the moment his cats Nanaki and JoJo were surprised with the concrete treat. Pictures from TikTok of cat owners with a concrete slab, left, for their felines, right. Pictures from TikTok of cat owners with a concrete slab, left, for their felines, right. @renusdelph & @boujeemomof3 - TikTok "My cats are indoor only, so might as well bring the outdoors to them," Hotaling said. In a video on TikTok, he shared the moment his feline were delighted by the gift of concrete. Gracie Garcia from Texas had similar motivations when she picked up a piece of concrete for her cat Louie. "I saw people online talking about how concrete stays cool, and, since my cat loves lying on cool surfaces in the summer, I thought a concrete slab would be an easy, inexpensive way to keep them comfy—and they love it," Garcia told Newsweek. Why Do Cats Like Concrete? Cat behaviorists say there are plenty of reasons cats might be drawn to a humble concrete block—from its shape and height to the texture and temperature. "If you have an indoor cat, and space, then buying a slab of concrete is a fun idea," Celia Haddon, cat behaviorist and author of Being Your Cat, told Newsweek. "It shouldn't cost a lot, and you might be able to just find one in builders' skip for free. Put it in a sunlit place if you want it to warm up. It will retain the heat well." There is a psychological appeal too. "One of the funniest things in cat behavior is the way they like sitting in boxes—not just real boxes but rectangular shapes, which give an illusion of being a box," Haddon said. Louie the cat, left, checks out the concrete slab, and JoJo, right, performs a concrete sniff test.

"I would say 'If a concrete square slab fits, your cat sits.'" Anita Kelsey, feline behaviorist and author of The Little Book of Extraordinary Cats, echoed the sentiment. "Concrete can be particularly appealing because of its temperature-regulating properties. The texture of concrete also plays a role, as it's rough and scratchy, which some cats find soothing or stimulating," she told Newsweek. JoJo, left, and Louie, right, enjoying their concrete slabs.

While the popular trend of buying concrete for cats is mostly a good idea, there are some considerations. "Ensure the concrete is clean and has not come from a construction site or any area where it may have been exposed to chemicals, oils, or other harmful substances," said Kelsey. It is also important to keep an eye on the temperature of the concrete itself. "Concrete in direct sunlight can become extremely hot and may burn your cat's paw pads or contribute to overheating," Kelsey said. "While cats are generally good at self-regulating their body temperature and will likely move if it becomes uncomfortable, it's still best to provide shade, allow access during cooler times of the day, and monitor the surface temperature regularly."

The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon Season 3 Release Date, Trailer, Where to Watch
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Entertainment gossip and news from Newsweek's network of contributors "The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon Season 3" release date is confirmed, alongside a bunch of juicy new details. In this article you'll find everything you need to know, including the show's release date, where you can stream it, and key plot details. The biggest one, of course, is the setting - there's never been a The Walking Dead series like this. Set in Spain, a first for the zombie-filled show and its numerous spinoffs, we'll see fan-favourite character Daryl Dixon (Norman Reedus) slay walkers in sunnier climes than he's used to. Norman Reedus stars in The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon Season 3 Norman Reedus stars in The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon Season 3 AMC Read on for all the facts about "The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon Season 3". The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon Season 3 Story In "Season 3 of The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon", we follow old friends Daryl and Carol (Melissa McBride) as they try and find a route home. The way back is anything but simple, however. Now in Spain, they're forced to confront a post-apocalyptic Mediterranean land filled with sun-baked zombies, sieges in historic towns, and all manner of bad guys (one particular nasty one wielding a massive battle axe, as shown in the trailer below). What Happened in The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon Season 2? In the previous season, Dixon washes ashore in France, only he doesn't know why. The series follows his journey as he fights against the undead on a whole new continent. What Happened in The Walking Dead: The Book of Carol? "The Walking Dead: The Book of Carol" picks up where "The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon Season 2" ends. Daryl stays in France, Carol sets off to find her sister, and Genet (Anne Charrier) is more powerful than ever. This sets up an almighty clash between the Pouvoir movement and the Union of Hope, with the future of France hanging in the balance. It's unlikely we'll see a resolution to that plot arc in "The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon", though. Why is The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon Season 3 Set in Spain? Executive Producer Steve Squillante has provided more than enough justification for taking "The Walking Dead" to Spain. "Spain has a really wonderful canvas that I don't believe viewers are quite as familiar with," Squillante tells Variety. "Even though it's a post-apocalyptic world, you see pieces of culture and history, and people don't realize or the actual impressive cultural and environmental diversity in a country the size of Spain." The road home is brutal and the fight to survive is far from over. #DarylDixon Season 3 premieres September 7 exclusively on AMC & AMC+. — The Walking Dead (@WalkingDead_AMC) June 23, 2025 "This is not an American show that's just relocated to France and then to Spain to shoot another version of an American show," Squillante continues. According to him, "95%-plus" of Season 3 was filmed in Spain, including Barcelona, Seville, Granada, and the ruins of Belchite, a town devastated during the 1936-39 Spanish Civil War. There's apparently also a stunning train sequence Squillante teases will "blow people away." The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon Season 3 Release Date "The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon Season 3" premieres September 7, 2025, as confirmed by AMC. UK viewers, will need to wait four days later on September 11, 2025.

The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon Season 3 Trailer Here's the latest trailer for "The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon Season 3", giving you a sneak peak of what you're in for.
